mice ate insulation off many small wires inside TT. Liquid Electrical Tape, .......????

I have two old Misubishi Vertical TT,'s: LT-5V to make 1 working TT

Took the backs off. One had mice or some small creatures living there, some snuggly stuffing gathered inside, and, they chewed the insulation off many of the small wires, so bare wire is near bare wire in many many places.

If I ever try to get this one to work, I will need to cover the bare parts to avoid shorts.

And experiences, or advice?

liquid electrical tape seems easy to brush on

another brand of liquid electrical tape, seems thicker

I suppose I could spray this kind of stuff on some cardboard, and use an artist's paint brush to coat them, but it could get messy, perhaps I can mix it thinner with something???

sugru can be shaped, but the wires are close together and I have big hands and numb fingers

And what was the year of manufacture? If much more than 25 years, I would recommend changing electrolytic capacitors BEFORE you apply power. A leaky capacitor can damage parts that are hard to find and expensive. The caps themselves are dirt cheap.

Luckily the 'bad' one's arm wire was in position so I was able to see how to wind it around a roller. Mostly cleaned up pretty well yesterday, prior owner was a smoker, yuck, a bit more this am, new belts supposed to arrive today. I need to make a right angle template to locate the stylus tip up/down in the headshell on horizontal centerline of spindle.
